"Moby Dick - Rehearsed" is a 1965 Australian TV play based on the 1955 play Moby Dick - Rehearsed by Orson Welles. It was shot in Sydney.
A stage is set for a performance of King Lear. However the actor-manager has something else in mind - for his cast to do a rehearsed reading of Moby Dick.
The set was designed by Geoffrey Wedlock.[5]
The TV critic for the Sydney Morning Herald called it "very exciting television... Ken Hannam's production was compelling and always visually interesting, especially in the use of focus."[6]
The Canberra Times called it "a fine actors play, but, let us face it, a pretty boring one" but praised the work of Wynn Roberts and Patricia Connolly.[7]
